Hmmm. I don’t think it would be that big of a deal so long as you don’t say, “HERE’S DAN SMITH. HE LIVES AND WORKS HERE. THIS IS HIS SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER AND A LIST OF ALL OF HIS FEARS.”

I’d just use first names if I were you.



No, I am not writing biographies on them…just their role in my life and my understanding of their cultures…thats it…

yes, for one person, i plan to BRIEFLY state that she had childhood hardships…and that these hardships helped me understand her community better…and showed me that success is definetely possible…She showed me that I shouldn’t let circumstances bring me down…

Stuff like that…that’s probably the deepest I would get into a person’s history…

Ok…and I’ll just use first names…lol
